The stomping, storming sounds of American roots music are laid down at 45rpm, all night until the sweaty end. Six years strong, this truly legendary dancefloor institution has moved to Holocene and takes place every second Thursday. Expect the same jubilant ruckus you’ve come to know and love, refreshingly reinvented within Holocene’s walls. Our space will be decorated with love and care just for the occasion, with an eye for that sharp, sexy mod style. We invite all of you dapper gents and stylish ladies to dress to impress on our dancefloor.

Thanks to the deep crates and incomparable prowess of DJ Beyondadoubt, this party is popping from the very first record laid down. Hailing from Memphis, Beyondadoubt was raised on Dirty South bass music, Soul, Gospel, regional Southern Rap and Bounce music. Channeling these roots and employing her collection of rare and vintage vinyl, this nationally renowned career DJ of over a decade takes us on a journey deep into the fiercely raw emotional landscape of Soul and Rhythm & Blues. Get into it.

Well, why do I want to go? That is the question and the answer. I am in philosopy and I thought it may sound witty to answer like that.

However, truth be told I just don’t have any plans that evening, so I would rather invite someone to check out some awesome soul music than sit at home on V-day while eating mint chocolate chip ice-cream and watching Greys Anatomy alone. Please oblige?

i would love to win because i have been with my kids father for 6 years and we have 4 beautful children and well this is the first year that we can do something romantic we have a sitter and imnot pregnant. lol please can you help us!!! thankyou
